Chapter 217: Chapter 215: A Mutual Pledge

His kiss left her nowhere to run, conquering her step by step. It moved down inch by inch, its heat making her tremble.

A current of electricity shot up from her toes.

The entire room was filled with a fiery passion.

It was an eruption of love, a diffusion of desire.

It was two people giving themselves to each other, a union of body and soul.

Huang Ziyue was on the verge of losing himself in Shen Yue’s splendor...

...ready to drown with her in a tide of ecstatic pleasure, to ascend the peak of love together.

Until, with a sweep of his hand, the red dress wrapped around Shen Yue fell to the floor.

He looked at her skin—fair and flushed, as flawless and delicate as white porcelain—and his eyes blazed with fire.

He bit her collarbone, his voice nearly a hoarse whisper.

"Let me be your man, Shen Yue."

"May I?"

Even at this moment, he was still seeking her consent.

Shen Yue was already lost in his scorching kiss. Only a union of fire and water could bring them release.

Her mouth was almost dry. Parting her red lips, she let out a soft moan, giving him his answer.

It gave him immense courage.

He had finally waited for this moment—the surrender of her body and soul.

At this moment, Huang Ziyue could no longer control his inner yearning.

Just as his reason was utterly consumed by the flames of desire, spiritual power erupted from his hands, and a spiritual power barrier instantly enveloped the entire house.

It sealed them off from the outside world, guarding them completely.

This time, no one would interrupt them, and no one would dare intrude.

Huang Ziyue pulled Shen Yue onto his lap, knocking the food off the table...

...until she had stripped away all his clothes...

...and they were bared to one another...

...their eyes filled only with the beautiful, enchanting sight of each other’s longing.

The man’s well-defined chest and powerful waist made the entranced Shen Yue’s face burn...

His large hands gently caressed her trembling body, giving her the most wonderful experience.

And her arousal caused a fragrance to emanate from her body, spreading like a potent venom, filling the entire room...

...driving Huang Ziyue into a frenzy again and again with its soul-snatching scent.

His vision was filled with her seductive gasps, a beauty that belonged to him alone...

He carried her, kissing her all the way from the stool to the table, and from the table to the bed...

The entire room bore witness to their love. Shen Yue’s gasps grew louder and louder...

...and his thrusts became more and more fierce.

He gave her more each time, sending them soaring to the clouds again and again...

In the instant their fingers intertwined, sweat and love’s nectar mingled...

「In another courtyard.」

After returning from the main hall, Bai Chaosi hadn’t gone back to his room. He just stood alone in the courtyard.

Xiao Ya, seeing that he still hadn’t come inside, couldn’t wait any longer and came out.

Dressed in a thin gown, she stood behind Bai Chaosi, her voice tinged with grievance.

"A Xi, how much longer are you going to stand out here?"

With his back to her, Bai Chaosi frowned slightly.

"What are you doing out here? You should be resting."

His voice was lukewarm, laced with a hint of detachment.

Hearing this, Xiao Ya’s voice became faint.

"How can I possibly rest when you won’t come inside?"

"The wind is so strong out here. I’m worried about you. You haven’t slept for two nights in a row. Why? Why won’t you come in and sleep?"

It was the same last night. After that woman beat him until his face was bruised, Bai Chaosi had returned and stood in the courtyard, refusing to go inside.

She had tried to persuade him for a long time, asking why he wouldn’t come in to sleep.

But he just said he needed to meditate through the night to regulate his breathing and enhance his spiritual power.

But this "regulation" lasted the entire night.

When she woke up in the morning, he was still standing alone in the courtyard.

Hearing her, Bai Chaosi slowly turned around.

The coldness and distance that seemed to emanate from his very bones made Xiao Ya’s brimming sense of grievance and timidity recede slightly.

But the man was just so breathtakingly beautiful.

Just a single glance was enough to make Xiao Ya’s heart beat faster!

She bit her lip, looking at him with a shy and timid gaze.

"A Xi, I can’t sleep alone. After what happened today, I’m scared..."

"Can... can you sleep with me?"

Bai Chaosi’s long, fox-like eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, looked at her with detached coolness.

"No."

"For the next two days, I need to use the undisturbed night to meditate and recover my spiritual power."

Flatly rejected, Xiao Ya’s expression instantly stiffened, and she bit her lip, looking aggrieved.

Then, Bai Chaosi changed the subject.

"Don’t worry. I’ll stand guard out here. You go inside and rest easy. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen."

Hearing this, the aggrieved look on Xiao Ya’s face faded a little.

Her tone was somewhat urgent.

"But you haven’t slept for two nights! You’ve only just recovered, you barely escaped the Ghost Gate. At this rate, your body won’t be able to take it."

Bai Chaosi’s gaze didn’t linger on her. He turned and looked away.

"It’s fine. My injuries have mostly healed. The most important thing now is to increase my spiritual power so I can protect you, isn’t it?"

This sentence undoubtedly warmed Xiao Ya’s heart. ’He wants to protect me?’

"Today was too dangerous. You were almost hurt because of it."

"Being by my side means facing all sorts of dangers at any moment. So, if I don’t have absolute power to protect you, and something like today happens again, wouldn’t that be perilous?"

Hearing him say this, Xiao Ya recalled the terrifying moment when that pillar had come crashing down toward her.

A hidden glint flashed through her almond-shaped eyes.

She looked at Bai Chaosi’s back and dispelled some of her doubts. ’So he’s working so hard, pushing himself to increase his spiritual power, for my sake?’

Her heart fluttered with a bit of joy, and she said softly,

"Thank you, A Xi. If you hadn’t shown up just in time to save me today, I’m afraid I would have never seen you again."

As she spoke, she cautiously probed,

"It’s a pity that culprit got away today. Otherwise, we could have avenged the innocent people who died in the City Lord Mansion right on the spot!"

After she finished, she stood at Bai Chaosi’s side, a worried look on her face.

"By the way, A Xi, how are things with Miss A Yue? How did your discussion with them go this evening? Did you find any clues? Have they caught that brazen person yet?"

Earlier, she had secretly gone to the Flood Dragon Clan’s courtyard and eavesdropped for a while but hadn’t heard anything significant.

After seeing that woman and that ugly man go inside, she was afraid Bai Chaosi would run into her, so she had hurried back from that courtyard.

She had originally thought Bai Chaosi would return immediately, but to her surprise, she had to wait for another hour before he came back to their courtyard.

Hearing her question, Bai Chaosi seemed unwilling to reveal anything and asked in return,

"Why are you worrying about all this?"

Xiao Ya’s gaze flickered, and she immediately lowered her voice.

"No reason. I’m just afraid that person will come back. You know, I grew up in Luoxi Town. I’ve never seen such bloody and violent scenes before, so I’m scared!"

Bai Chaosi glanced sideways at her, his cool gaze sweeping over her.

"Don’t worry."

"They’ll be caught sooner or later. Anyone who dares to openly murder the innocent won’t get away, no matter who they are."

As he spoke, his gaze deepened, and he stared at Xiao Ya.

"Besides, this matter involves someone from the Flood Dragon Clan. Do you think the person behind this can escape?"

"The only fate for someone who dares to assassinate a member of the Flood Dragon Clan is death!"

His cool tone was laced with iciness, and he bit out the last few words with emphasis.

Hearing this and meeting his heavy gaze, Xiao Ya’s heart skipped a beat.

She steadied her expression and nodded slightly.

"Yes, that’s for the best. We can’t let the bad guys get away!"

As she said this, she seemed to feel a bit guilty under Bai Chaosi’s stare and said,

"Well, A Xi, I’ll go inside and sleep then. I won’t disturb your meditation!"

"If you get tired, you should also come in early..."

"Stop!" Bai Chaosi cut her off sharply.

His expression was grave as he looked toward the side of the courtyard, as if searching for something in the quiet night.

Xiao Ya was startled and looked suspiciously in the direction he was facing.

"What is it, A Xi?"

Bai Chaosi detected a faint, intermittent scent.

The color drained from his face...

That familiar scent...

It was the fragrance Shen Yue only released when she was aroused...

He looked in disbelief toward Huang Ziyue and Shen Yue’s courtyard...
